You can rewrite over the old image as well, so your not wasting cds/dvds. You don't have to worry about fire damage, as you can store the disks in a fireproof box or offsite somewhere. If you are really worried about fire, read Robo's article in this months PCW about internet backups. DriveImage can compress about 3gigs small enough to fit on two 700mb cdrs. I bet you can store your whole hard drive on a few dvd-rs. So maybe a dvd rewriter coupled with some good software is a good idea. Something to think about anyway ;) |
